FAQ

How do I choose the right inseam for training?

For most gym work, 7" balances mobility and coverage; 9" adds more coverage for outdoor or mixed training. REP offers both 7" and 9" inseams across our men’s athletic shorts—see our guide to picking the perfect workout shorts for help.

What’s the difference between training shorts and compression shorts?

Training shorts are looser outer shells for range of motion, while compression shorts are snug base layers that add support and help reduce chafing. REP offers both shells and light-compression options so you can wear them alone or pair them.

Which fabrics and features matter most in men’s athletic shorts?

Prioritize lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics with some stretch, a secure waistband, and functional pockets. REP designs its shorts for performance in sweaty, high-movement sessions; dive deeper in our overview of what makes REP apparel perform.

Are these shorts good for both workouts and everyday wear?

Yes—clean styling and durable, breathable materials make these men’s athletic shorts easy to transition from training to daily wear without looking overly gym-specific.

Do your shorts have liners, and how should they fit?

Some REP styles include built-in liners; others are shell-only to pair with separate compression shorts. The waistband should stay secure without digging in, and you should be able to hit deep squats or lunges without pulling or restriction.
